Zeffy

FundEasy fits your organization
If your banquet uses table hosts and table assignments, or you want your donors’ checkout to ask only for a gift to your mission, FundEasy is the better fit, and it’s built by a team that serves faith-based organizations.

In short
What is the difference between FundEasy and Zeffy?
Zeffy
Zeffy charges nonprofits no platform or processing fees. It is funded by a contribution to Zeffy that your donors are asked for at checkout, and Zeffy reports that donors who contribute give about 4% on average.
Zeffy’s help center says the nonprofit cannot customize the wording or the suggested amounts of that request.
Zeffy’s help center describes seating as a workaround: upload a chart image and create a ticket type per row. Table hosts, sponsors by tier, and meal choices are not advertised.
FundEasy
FundEasy charges your organization a subscription, plus a 0.7% platform fee and Stripe processing, and never asks donors to contribute to FundEasy. Your checkout asks for one thing: a gift to you.
You decide what donors see. Donors can choose to cover fees, and about 60% do when offered (M+R Benchmarks 2026).
FundEasy includes table hosts who invite their own guests, sponsor sign-up with approval, meal choices, drag-and-drop table assignments on Seating (one shared guest list with Attendees and Groups & Hosts), and Live Check-in. It is built for faith-based nonprofits and connects to eKYROS for pregnancy centers.
